據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)7月16日報道，總部位于挪威的純碳捕獲公司阿克碳捕獲公司(Aker Carbon Capture)表示，其已與沙特石油巨頭阿美石油公司(Saudi Aramco)攜手合作，探索在沙特阿拉伯部署碳捕獲、利用和封存(CCUS)和工業(yè)模塊化的合作機會。

該公司在一份聲明中表示，該諒解備忘錄預(yù)計將通過提供模塊化碳捕獲廠和售后服務(wù)，專注于通過CCUS減少和消除工業(yè)和能源解決方案中的碳排放。

雙方還旨在評估發(fā)展當(dāng)?shù)毓?yīng)鏈和模塊制造的潛力。

阿克碳捕獲公司首席執(zhí)行官Egil Fagerland在與沙特阿美公司(技術(shù)服務(wù))執(zhí)行副總裁Ahmad Al Sa 'adi在簽署為期兩年的協(xié)議后表示，“我們很高興與沙特阿美公司宣布這一機會，旨在支持沙特阿拉伯的2030年愿景和沙特王國的2060年凈零目標(biāo)”。

阿克碳捕獲公司的Just Catch模塊化概念是一種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化產(chǎn)品，可實現(xiàn)CCU的預(yù)制。

目前，該公司正在荷蘭交付一個Just Catch裝置，預(yù)計將于年底完成。

Fagerland稱，“我們希望共同探索建立當(dāng)?shù)啬K化CCUS產(chǎn)業(yè)，創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機會，并幫助沙特阿拉伯實現(xiàn)凈零排放的重要旅程。這份諒解備忘錄可能是阿克碳捕獲公司進(jìn)入中東的第一步。通過中東綠色倡議，該地區(qū)的目標(biāo)是每年減少6.7億噸二氧化碳排放量；阿克碳捕獲公司支持這一重大項目，因為這一項目約占全球國家自主碳減排總量的10%。”

Al Sa 'adi表示，“與阿克碳捕獲公司的合作將有助于支持沙特阿美在碳捕獲領(lǐng)域開發(fā)和部署尖端技術(shù)的努力”。

這位高級官員指出，“我們還將與合作伙伴一起探索先進(jìn)技術(shù)，以提高運輸效率，最大限度地減少排放，推進(jìn)低碳?xì)淙剂虾涂稍偕茉窗l(fā)展，以實現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo)”。

他補充道，阿克碳捕獲公司和沙特阿美石油公司還計劃在沙特探索跨行業(yè)開發(fā)模塊化解決方案的可能性。

Norway group Aker seals carbon capture deal with Aramco

Aker Carbon Capture, a pure-play carbon capture company headquartered in Norway, said it has joined hands with Saudi oil giant Aramco to explore partnership opportunities to deploy carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and industrial modularisation in Saudi Arabia.

The MoU is expected to focus on carbon emissions reduction and removal through CCUS from industries and energy solutions by offering modular carbon capture plants and aftermarket services, said the company in a statement.

The parties also aim to assess the potential for developing local supply chains and module fabrication. 

"We are pleased to announce this opportunity with Aramco that aims to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s Net Zero 2060 ambition," said Aker Carbon Capture CEO Egil Fagerland after signing the two-year deal with Aramco Executive Vice President (Technical Services) Ahmad Al Sa’adi.

Aker’s Just Catch modular concept is a standardized product offering that enables prefabrication of CCUs.

It is currently delivering a Just Catch unit in the Netherlands, which is expected to be completed by the year end.

"Together, we aspire to explore the establishment of a local modular CCUS industry, creating new jobs and helping Saudi Arabia’s important journey towards net-zero emissions. This MoU is a potential first step for Aker Carbon Capture into the Middle East," remarked Fagerland. 

Through the Middle East Green Initiative, the region aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 670 million tonnes per year, he stated. 

"It is important for Aker Carbon Capture to support this major undertaking, which represents around 10 per cent of global nationally determined contributions," he added.

Al Sa’adi said the partnership with Aker Carbon Capture would help support Aramco's efforts in developing and deploying cutting edge technologies in the area of carbon capture.

"We are also exploring advanced technologies with our partners to improve efficiency and minimize emissions in transportation, low-carbon hydrogen fuels and renewables to achieve our ambition,” noted the top official.

Aker Carbon Capture and Aramco also aim to explore the possibility of developing modular solutions across industries in Saudi Arabia, he added.
